... and I'm one of them. I was just smiling at this thread and of course didn't mean to be brute!

I'm wanderring why I should have in my pocket something worth hundreds of euros/dollar and using it as a 29.99 $ Nokia (by the way: I own one of these low cost mobiles...). Just in order to be away from the plug for a whole week? Any function you have drains battery and, of course, it's good to turn off functions as you don't use them. But what if you work in a WiFi-covered factory and use a BT hearphone? ;)

I bought an external battery (sorry for my english... I don't really know how to call that battery "thing" that you can easily charge and carry and has a series of plugs to fit most phones).

That's all. And I feel sorry if looked so "expert in posting useless replies..."

:cool:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] core7x:
this is just a thread where user can share information...

not consider with the situation and location...

" But what if you work in a WiFi-covered factory and use a BT hearphone? "

this is a reason when someone situation...at least, they can use other method to reduce battery otherwise improve battery performance ...

think alternative..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Hileotech:
I surely will!

Please don't consider my posts as offensive towards you: I didn't mean so!

Have a nice day (and battery savings ;) )

Not the 1.2 version though, 1.0 is the 'ace' version.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] apy:
Thanks for the tips. I wasn't aware that having the incoming infrared beam checked would have an impact on battery life, since HD doesn't have I/R.

As for the WiFi, there's a tool that turns wifi on/off when in range of a CellID, thus making it location based (sort of). It's handy if you need Wifi at work and home, but not when you're commuting. I've tested it and it also works on HD.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=448783
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
The incoming beam option is just a safety option on the Touch HD.

It used to activate IR and make it possible to receive files over BT. Now it only applies to Bluetooth so I can't imagine that enabling this option would drain the battery (in tests it even proved that the IR didn't drain the battery).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] uaealk:
The main idea is to use the features when you really need them !:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Exactly, and this should be common sense anyway. I only use wifi, gps, bluetooth etc when I need them.

NOTE

Also leaving bluetooth on all the time leaves your phone vunerable to hackers you can access your phone and take your credit, steal files etc

[Shift Development] Caid444:
This is probably one of over a hundred "getting a shift" posts, but I'm just so damn excited. I know I'm a little late to the party, as well. But hey, better late than never.

I'm looking forward to joining some of the conversations and threads on this part of the forum. I've spent most of my time on xda in the athena and touch hd forums. (Athena was stolen, touch hd is still going strong).

Anyway... yeah.... YES!!!! (elbow thrust motion of excitement).

[Shift Development] Killbillprime:
lol welcome to the party mate !!! ;)
[Shift Development] lucid:
Congrats !

Did you decide to buy an as SD access is close and GSM + GPS is working ?

Will you develop for this device ? Sorry to hear your gadget got stolen, maybe install pocketreperion for free and have it send location and audio to your phone !
[Shift Development] apoparis:
Welcome on board mate.I'm also new - I got mine about 2 weeks ago.

So far so good. Some problems with USB tool after SP1 install.

Haven't flashed a rom yet, I'm waiting for saiweb to make the next miracle with SD.

Can't wait to have (almost) all in one pack (GPS,phone,SD).

Blue,Wifi,FullScreen WM - for those I can wait.

Also thinking about Windows 7, haven't decided yet.

Anyway, in my opinion, "factory" shift is a decent machine. After xda developers work it's now good. In the near (I hope) future it will be just great.

Thanks for the welcome!

Nope, I'm not a developer, although some of my students are. Thanks for all the greetings, and uh... I don't understand the last comment. I'm an English speaker. ;)

About the loss of my athena, well... There's always an answer in retrospect, but that was then, and this is now. I've moved on, and still the world is full of fortune and misfortune, but it's all for a reason.

[Shift Development] saiweb:
Congratulations.

Congratulations. Sorry to hear the loss of the device. I can understand the frustration that you go through when a device is lost or broken. It is like losing a hand all of a sudden.

I am still working on BT and SD access. Got lost at day work.

[Shift Development] Caid444:
Got it.

Well, I got myself the shift. It's at home right now downloading the English MUI. I'm living in China as an English teacher, so everything I buy here is in Chinese. Oh well, I'll get it done.

I'm most interested in getting win7 on here as well as trying to run World of Warcraft to see if it's even playable at the lowest settings.

Fingers crossed, and we'll see.

Thanks again for the warm welcome.

[Shift Development] deadnex:
Let me know how WoW works out for you ;)
[Shift Development] Caid444:
Hey

I ran wow on it, it runs slowly on low, but certainly playable. It was actually kinda fun. I'm curious to see how it will run in win7 rc 7100 but I've yet to find a key for it to install it.

Any information on how to get a key for the win 7 7100 RC would be excellent, and I'll give updated impressions of WOW after that.

Caid.
[Shift Development] Pantaloonie:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/download.aspx

Download the RC from here, log in with a Windows Live account and they give you a key.

"

You don't need to rush to get the RC. The RC will be available at least through July 2009 and we're not limiting the number of product keys, so you have plenty of time.

Watch the calendar. The RC will expire on June 1, 2010. Starting on March 1, 2010, your PC will begin shutting down every two hours. Windows will notify you two weeks before the bi-hourly shutdowns start. To avoid interruption, you’ll need to install a non-expired version of Windows before March 1, 2010."
[Shift Development] vertigo1:
Windows 7 = perfection

I can vouch for Windows 7. It makes the Shift darn near perfect to work on. Fast, gorgeous, and slim. Just make sure you follow the guide on these forums EXACTLY when you do install it else the TouchScreen and Control Center won't work. Also, you'll have to be careful not to bump the resolution change button, else you'll BSOD. Other than that its great!
[Shift Development] Caid444:
hey, you can run win7 in a higher resolution, just make sure to select a non aero theme in your display settings.

Caid.

444
[Shift Development] vertigo1:
Indeed, but it still remains that if you're in Aero and you bump that button, bad things happen.

Nonetheless, great experience.
[Shift Development] skippinshanghai:
Congrats on your new toy - where did you get one of these babies in China?

I'm living in Shanghai but haven't seen one here at all! I was really hanging out for a Touch Pro2 to go with my Redfly, but a Shift would be awesome!

I've experienced issues with Pocket Twit recently. When it shows my avatar it displays full screen and covers my tweet, every other avatar for friends is ok.
[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
That's a problem with your avatar. For some reason Twitter doesn't always shrink the images to 80x80. Best to crop it yourself and re-upload it.
[XPERIA X1 General] ijob:
cheers, i'll try that :)
[XPERIA X1 General] ijob:
I've cropped and reuploaded the avatar to twitter, however my tiny twitter still displays the same huge original avatar, is there a cache that I can delete or somthing?

[Touch HD General] henrik.dk:
I have just bought htc touch hd with dansih OS rom. the phone is locked to danish 3g (www.3.dk).

#1. Any thing I need to take care to flash a new OS on a locked phone?

#2. Do I need to find&save the configuration for 3g setup thus after I

flash to english OS, I will still be able to call&surf?

#3. How could I backup the complete ROM thus when something goes wrong

I could revert to original ROM and retrun the phone?

I tried to find the answer int he forum, but failed. Thanks in advance for your answer.
[Touch HD General] henrik.dk:
Now I started to get some answer to my own question:

#1. I will need to have SSPL or HSPL to flash my rom to another language

I prefer to SSPL.

#2. The phone will still be locked to 3.com after flashing which I don't care

Still questions:

#1. Any setup related to 3.com for internet surfing?

#2. How I could backup original ROM and revert to the original ROM?
[Touch HD General] Boradan:
I am living in DK and got the same phone from 3.

Used USPL when flashing, and no problems at all.

The phone will automatically get 3;s settings from the network.

The original Danish rom is available in the rom development forum in one of the stickies
[Touch HD General] henrik.dk:
Thank you for the answer. I will try to flash it then.
[Touch HD General] ash3012:
Just a piece of advice - MUST read wiki pages regarding flashing ROMS. This will enable you to flash the device with confidence and will prevent any possibility of DAMAGE you may cause during flashing.

Credit to those pages goes to respective authors.
[Touch HD General] henrik.dk:
Thank you. I have just successfully flashed HD to the latest english version

with the advice from wiki and you.

Everything works fine.

Got another couple of questions:

#1. What is the difference of "fully power off" from "soft reset"

#2. GPS and AGPS. How does GPS work in HD?

Is that possible to turn it on/off manually to save power if navigation is not needed.

#3. Do you have any recommendation of a cooked ROM? My taste is to have a lite version. e.g.: I don't really need google maps which I could install at any time when needed.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Retronana:
Okay, lets start with the good news, finally took the plunge and grabbed a Diamond 2 via the offer on mobiles.co.uk, overall very pleased with the handset, with some minor tweaks its working just fine, a few things to resolve to get it sorted as I would want.

One of the issues still to be resolved is Blackberry Connect integration which is not currently working, I need to expand a little on how it had been working for me before the Diamond 2 arrived in my letterbox.

I've been running Blackberry Connect 4.0.0.106 on my Kaiser for a while now, works very well, I was supplied instantemail (T-Mobile) access to Blackberry email service, handset never failed to connect and due to the open nature of T-Mobiles' very good web & walk service never paid any extra data charges in the UK, my PAC transfer happened on Friday and as T-Mobile closed my network access on that day.

I have subscribed to unlimited internet/Blackberry access via O2, currently I have not managed to log on to this service using the Diamond 2, I have tried the following BB Connect WM clients:

4.0.0.97

4.0.0.106

4.0.0.100 (handset fails to boot !)

The BB Connect Identity tab shows PIN as "Pending" & I.P Address as "No Connection", if I use the "Register Now" tab on the utility tab its connects for a couple of seconds, returns an I.P then just returns to the state above.

O2 tech support have not been that useful although I sort of understand my problem is not a normal one...

I thought my problem was a network issue, although I took the O2 sim out of the Diamond 2 and placed it in the Kaiser and that then proceeded to download all my T-Mobile instantemail that had arrived on that account since Friday, due to this can I assume the network is not the issue ?

My questions are, what is a fault ?

* Handset ?

* Blackberry Connect ?

* 02 Network ?

* Blackberry BIS Server ?

Last question, the deal with O2 is Blackberry service and "unlimited internet", I checked by online bill yesterday and had £15 worth of data charges, seems the unlimited part is only if you connect via blackberry browser, does that also mean I'm lumped with the very poor P.I.E as a browser as opposed to either of the Opera products or Skyfire ?

Any help/assistance gratefully accepted :)

[G1 Android Development] Ungamedplayer:
Introduction

This is the first release of an installable package to allow google android phones to connect to Cisco like VPN concentrators.

Details

The installing phone will require:

* Root user privileges on the phone.

* /dev/tun file

* Kernel with tun support (or tun module). (cyanogen should be good)

* A cisco, nortel or freeswan ipsec server to connect to.

How To

Installing this version

This is available in the android market as a free application. It should be called VPN Connections. (Not sure where it will be listed as yet).

The latest version of the application can also be downloaded from here and installed using adb.

Reporting bugs

Please inform us which ROM and version that you are using, if the /dev/tun exists, its permissions, and the output of logcat from a boot, also the version of this application that you are running.

If your ROM and version are already reported in the issue list, please comment in the thread as there has been some inconsistencies in reports.

Please be very careful when lodging a bug as it may contain company confidential information. Be sure to strip any secrets or passwords from the configuration files or debugging information.

http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/issues/list

Known issues

May need to load the tun module manually first.

Usernames can not contain the @ symbol.

Does not currently work with one time pass devices (Rsa keys).

I'm not trying to ping via DNS name, so dont be worred about that. I know the other hosts are up, reachable and pingable.

Tried TCP and ICMP connections.
[G1 Android Development] Saiboogu:
Unfortunately I don't have any ideas for you.. I'd like to play with it some myself though, would love to have VPN working. Could you send me / post the compiled binaries? saiboogu [at] g mail

Thanks and good luck
[G1 Android Development] Ungamedplayer:
Sent to said address.
[G1 Android Development] Ungamedplayer:
A little more information.

When tcpdumping the connection, packets originating from the phone go out through the device.

When tcpdumping the connnection with packets originating from the internal network through the vpn, i can tell they make it to the rmnet0 device, but never make it to tun0 device.
[G1 Android Development] Ungamedplayer:
Ok, so I have it working now ! Wahoo.

So.. going to tidy the code up, Clean up the shell script to be android specific (and set the DNS servers).
[G1 Android Development] P3TR:
Great. Would be awesome if you could share your binaries. What about joining this project and submitting what you did?
[G1 Android Development] Ungamedplayer:
Tried mailing the owner of the project, many weeks ago. No response. Guess its dead.
[G1 Android Development] Ungamedplayer:
I'm going to try to get a build environment setup for the major releases. Please PM me within the next 7 days if you are interested.

I plan to not only release the binaries, but the source code and build environment also. Hopefully the upstream developers will also take my patches.
[G1 Android Development] N23:
Is it possible to connect with this vpnc to a cisco concentrator 3000 vpn?

We use CiscoVPN at our University and it would be nice if Android will be able to connect to it.
[G1 Android Development] Saiboogu:
I got a copy of this a few days ago from ungamed.. At first I couldn't connect to our 3000 because I was lead to believe our concentrator only supported TCP NAT traversal (which isn't supported by vpnc), but after talking to someone who knew his stuff a little better, I connected via UDP and had no problems.

So, short answer -- as long as your concentrator is configured to accept some form of NAT traversal other than TCP, this should work.

Oh, and like ungamed said the DNS still needs some work. Not a problem for me, when I VPN to work I only need a single domain that I went ahead and put in my /etc/hosts
[G1 Android Development] kirankashalkar:

Hey guys,

Let me know if you can provide a package.

Would love trying this out.

You can find out a first download here. http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/downloads/list

This is the console part of the project, not the GUI, I'm still building that this week. Requires a rooted phone 1.5 or above.

You need to load that module with: modprobe -v tun

you can see the loaded kernel modules with lsmod.
[G1 Android Development] Phlogiston:
Ah now I remember, I created a symlink to get that fixed.

Something like: ln -s /dev/tun /dev/net/tun

Thats exactly what I reported.. I copied the script and the error is gone, but the apps still don't use the tunnel.
[G1 Android Development] Phlogiston:
works

hey guys I got it working, here are the steps:

1) Donwload and unpack: http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/downloads/list

2) Edit vpnc.conf with your connection settings

3) Change first line of vpnc-script in etc to:

#!/system/bin/sh

2) push it over to your phone, you are in the top folder with data in it:

alias as="adb shell"
adb push ./ /
push: ./data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc/etc/vpnc/vpnc.conf~ -> /data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc/etc/vpnc/vpnc.conf~
push: ./data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc/etc/vpnc/vpnc-script -> /data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc/etc/vpnc/vpnc-script

push: ./data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc/bin/ifconfig -> /data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc/bin/ifconfig
push: ./data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc/bin/route -> /data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc/bin/route
push: ./data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc/bin/bb -> /data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc/bin/bb
push: ./data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc/bin/vpnc -> /data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc/bin/vpnc

8 files pushed. 0 files skipped.
611 KB/s (2943952 bytes in 4.705s)

3) Load module and create symlink:

as modrobe tun
as lsmod
as mkdir /dev/net
as ln -s /dev/tun /dev/net/tun
as mkdir /sdcard/vpnc

4) Start the client:

as /data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc/bin/vpnc /data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc/etc/vpnc/vpnc.conf --script /data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc/etc/vpnc/vpnc-script --no-detach --debug 1

Good luck

PS: as is an alias set in step 2) which is the same as using adb shell all the time, but its shorter :)
[G1 Android Development] Phlogiston:
Hehe, you're welcome. As far as I heard the gui to this will be ready soon and those bugs should be fixed too. So no more hassle with all that :)

Another easy way to check if its working: Go to a site that displays your ip address and check whether its different from the one you have without the tunnel :cool:
[G1 Android Development] Ungamedplayer:
Thanks for helping out with the support P :)

Another teaser screenshot for those following along http://yfrog.com/0kdevicep , I've moved away from the app style program into a preference style app, so that if google wants to pick it up it slots into the preferences easier.
[G1 Android Development] prscott1:
I just stumbled onto this post and really like the teaser on the prefs setup. I'm looking forward to giving this a try. We have a Cisco 3000 concentrator at work that I hope this will work on and allow me access to the "inside" domains.

:)
[G1 Android Development] Phlogiston:
No problem man :) I hope you can fix those small issues we ran into. (Like the device link or the strange mkdir /sdcard/vpnc problem)

I think thats a good idea with the pref stuff. It would be nice to set the vpn automatically turning on for certain wifi access points while having it disabled for normal EDGE/3G connection. (At least thats my use scenario)
[G1 Android Development] N23:
What do i need to install it on a rooted CRB17 / CRB43? (no ADP release...)

There is no modprobe, uname etc... or i'm just looking at the wrong place ?

Got it working!

Damn nice work!

I have just a problem with the dns-servers, just internal domains are working - no google.com etc. :(

Can't wait to see a easy usable gui version with dns-support! Keep up the good work!
